Ada Milea offers a musical version of Shakespeare’s famous play, in which the audience are invited into the “isle full of noises” constructed by Ariel, where reality changes until the characters no longer know what is dream and what is not. In the jungle of microphones, cables, and instruments, Shakespeare’s characters mix their identities – Caliban becomes Antonio, and then turns into Ferdinand, while the king is in fact Prospero – as in a dream in which logic is abolished by exuberant fantasy.
